Acquire team thoroughly researches & reviews the best gear, services and staples for life.

For bargain hunters, there are few things better than Amazon's daily Gold Box, their one-day sale outpost featuring premium products at steep discounts (and often in limited quantities). The problem is, each day features something on the order of 10,000 results — how are you supposed to sort the gems from the also-rans?

Simple, you don't. We do. Here are the best deals we've seen today on Amazon. Today we have several items that everyone wants (and needs) in their kitchen, at great prices. Get 'em while they're hot!

When it comes to aspirational yuppie kitchen gear, the hierarchy goes something like this: A Vitamix blender, a Kitchenaid stand mixer and... a Cuisinart food processor. But of the three, this is probably the one you'll use most, and it's sought after for a reason — Cuisinart is the undisputed leader in this space. This is the most affordable they've ever been on Amazon, so if you've been considering it, now's the time.

29% Off 24-Piece 500 GSM Towel Set

As guys we get a lot of flack for not being clean 'n tidy, and we're not helping ourselves when women come over and see that we don't have towels, but a towel. Grow up and get some backups so that when you wash your towel(s) (and you do wash it/them, right?), you have more you can press into service.

25% Off Calphalon Signature Hard Anodized Nonstick Omelet Fry Pan Set

Despite it being by far the most popular kind, you don't really need nonstick cookware. A well-seasoned cast iron pan, for instance, can handle everything up to and including scrambled eggs. But there are some things that really are safer in nonstick, like fish and omelets. That's why, for those rare uses, you shouldn't spend a lot — but since this is the cheapest these Calphalon pans have ever been, now's a great opportunity to get higher quality at a bargain price.

50% Off D-Link Smart Plug

We'd all like to have a futuristic Jetsons style house, and while the technology now exists, it remains prohibitively expensive. A good starting point, though, is with WiFi-enabled smart plugs like this one. You can control it from an app on your phone, of course, but if you own an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot, it works with Alexa, too. This happens to be a tremendous deal, so grab a few.

37% Off FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealing System with Starter Kit

I've said it before, but the FoodSaver's claims that it pays for itself through cost savings is absolutely true. Food lasts forever when you vacuum seal it, so you throw less away. And because it lasts so long, you can buy in bulk, saving even more money. This bestselling model is ultra-compact, so you'll have no problem keeping it on your countertop full-time, where it'll certainly be used.

27% Off VicTsing External DVD Drive

As you're probably aware, most laptops don't come with optical drives anymore. And that's mostly fine, weight and cost savings and whatnot. But sometimes you, uh... need an optical drive. Your best bet is to snag one on the cheap and keep it close until you need it. This one's a bestseller, usually a pretty good indicator of quality.

64% Off Airtight Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Cold brew is all the rage for a reason: no one wants hot coffee when it's warm outside, and cold brew tastes a hell of a lot better than traditionally brewed iced coffee. Making it at home is as simple as pouring some grounds into a filter and then... just letting it sit there, actually, for around 24 to 48 hours. This happens to be a fantastic price on a bestselling item.

29% Off totes Signature Clear Bubble Umbrella

You ever go to use an umbrella and think to yourself "man, this kinda sucks. How has no one invented a better one by now?" Well, they have, and it looks a lot like this. Rather than obscuring your view and/or not actually keeping you dry, these clear bubble umbrellas cover pretty much your whole upper body and let you see clearly.

15% Off Rubbermaid Commercial Slim Jim Receptacle

If your trashcan is taking up a bunch of room in your kitchen, it's time to change that. It's obviously not something you want to be a focal point, so a slim model like this one is your best bet. This one's durable, and also has a ventilation channel to help dissipate smells until you can replace the bag. There's a smaller one, too, but it actually costs more, for some reason. There are also more colors, but prices may vary.
